Today we’re taking a unusual approach to White History Month and honoring two important White figures in the history of the NFL: The Original owner of the Washington Redskins George Preston Marshall and also William “Lone Star” Dietz their old Native American Head Coach who the team was named after but was actually White.

FYI Kind of ironic that a Lone Star Indian is the teams oldest coach when their current QBs a Tootsie Pop Rapper when you think about it folks.

George Preston Marshall was the original owner of the Washington Redskins. In addition to being a job creator, Marshall also spent the 20s and 30s getting married to the biggest movie stars on the planet. As a crazy obviously made-up complete fabrication of a wildcard example just imagine the media field day if Dan Snyder spent the last 20 years banging Tom Cruise in his owners suite actually during games while Joe Gibbs sat in front of him pretending not to notice the sounds and drips? Anyways between using his wives Oscars as marital aids, Marshall kept himself busy by dedicating his team to honoring Native Americans through his NFL team by hiring one or two of them to try out as a joke. Actually the name “Redskins” as literally everyone knows is a sly nod to the Northeastern branches of Iroquoi tribes who on certain dogwood trees every other winter were know to paint the story of a great hunt with at LEAST one hunters face painted with a dark shade of red or more frequently mahogany and NOT a reference to the common slang term Marshall used all the time for a Indian who just wont learn there lesson.

FACT: The Supreme Court of the United States (ever heard of it?) ruled that Indians waited too long to say they were offended by the name “Redskins.” No offense but even if they didnt use pregnant animals or whatever to tell time (which by the way is so impressive I wish I could do that= not racist) and filed before the statue of limitations expired, only 10% of them complained so they got outvoted by their own community.

People forget that also that the name of the entire franchise was also to honor the great proud noble Indian history of their Coach “Lone Star” Dietz who was White and had been hired like a month before they changed the name. Native Americans have been in such a rush to claim Dietz as their own they forgot to check there history books because Dietz stole the name “Lone Star” and the entire identity of a Indian who died in 1894 so that he could escape the draft so the FBI charged him with identity theft and he spent some time in a Washington State jail. In a great example of his generosity Marshall forgave Dietz and let him coach the team for two years but he had to wear warpaint and a big headdress on the sidelines to humiliate him and also honor Native Americans with respect.

Marshall was also the only owner to make a stand for this little thing we use to use called the Constitution and States rights when he tried to fight verse the NFL telling him who he had to draft. He was barely the last owner to integrate by 8 years, but if you look at the record books there weren’t many Black players at the time because they were more concerned with lining up to vote to line up in the wishbone formation for whatever reason. But soon enough there was a unfunded mandate from the Kennedy Administration for him to hire some Black players so he figured probably oughta be a team player here while Kennedys still around, and integrated. Which in retrospect is absolutely the right move for equality as well as for your playoff chances but at the time he was probably worried he’d be forced to hire Eskimo Tight Ends or Chinese Kickers or whatever was PC flavor of the month.

Marshall was truly one of the most selfless owners of any era. The mere fact that a man from West Virginia would grow up to ever spectate a sport that doesnt involve putting snakes on to different size things is remarkable, but to say hed be a NFL owner is just straight out of a sci-fi book. People forget that when Marshall moved his team to Washington DC he created thousands of jobs for minorities and Whites in the area. And one time when the Skins were playing the Giants,, George rented trains to take 10,000 fans to NYC in what was the equivilant of Dan Snyder renting 4 full Chinatown buses.

He was also the first to address the rampant reverse racism taking hold of our society as early as the 1950s, saying “We’ll start signing (African-Americans *) when the Harlem Globetrotters start signing whites.” A great point by a great man. You just know Marshall would of stood on the table for White History Month.

*the word he meant to use

George Preston Marshall is peacefully buried in Indian Mound Cemetery.

You just gave me a real disturbing image: The thought of Dan Snyder engaged in intercourse. Ugh As for marshall he humiliated Bobby Mitchell by forcing him to sign “Dixie” at the Redskins team luncheon when he first joined the team. Fuck him & fuck this franchise. Keeping the name is one thing, but being an arrogant defiant asshole is another.

You have truely captured the escence of what a great AMERICAN is. In this age of PC THUGS who just want to RERIGHT history, Mr. Marshall stand’s out as an example of what you can become if you just WORK at it, instead of waiting for OBAMMY to give you a free cellphone!

In a great example of his generosity Marshall forgave Dietz and let him coach the team for two years but he had to wear warpaint and a big headdress on the sidelines to humiliate him and also honor Native Americans with respect.

Thats wright SoS, the South’s King Cotton I was unhappy with the location of the macy-dixie line but the yankees wouldnt budge but we all known the outcome Cotton was no longer king and the yankees formed a baseball team.

No offense, but this world is going to hell in a hanbasket. A man goes to JAIL for upholding the SOUTHERN TRADITION of poising tree’s at the campis of a rival college. I guess NObama expects us all to hold hands with with eachother and hug trees and then write reperation checks to all the getto welfare millionaires. Just sayin’.

From an SI article: “Marshall died in 1969 after six years in a vegetative state. In his will he left $6 million for the health, education and welfare of children in greater D.C., with the proviso that none of it be spent “for any purpose which supports or employs the principle of racial integration in any form.”

Yeah, sounds like he died in a lot of pain too. Muthafuck him and John Wayne.

George Preston Marshall, founder, owner and president emeritus of the Washington Redskins football club, died in his sleep at his Georgetown home yesterday at 7:55 a.m. He was 72.

Mr. Marshall had been seriously ill with a combination of ailments. He underwent surgery to correct a hernia in August, 1962. Later, he suffered a cerebral thrombosis and was afflicted with hemiplegia, a heart condition, diabetes and arteriosclerosis.

Good. Fuck him. I hope he’s burning in Hell, and I can’t wait for Snyder to join him.

The Skins were my first team. First game I ever saw was the Skins. No one had the heart to explain to me how racist the name was for years, and then I didn’t care. Seeing firsthand how Snyder treated the fans like shit after the shitshow following Jack Kent Cooke’s death was what actually made me stop and realize the franchise was fucked even when the locals kept deluding themselves and trying to BS me.

“Kerry Washington as Olivia Carolyn Pope, who runs a crisis management firm. She is widely regarded as the best ‘fixer’ in Washington and has a reputation for ‘wearing the white hat.’ She is very dedicated to her work and to the people she helps. Her staff is very loyal to her because she has saved each of them from a problem in their past.”

Bill Simmons sees himself as a cross between an old white man who fixes murder problems for the local crime syndicate and a young black woman who fixes “White Hat” problems for the local crisis management firm.

Aparrently the news that its White History Month hasnt made it’s way to Oxford (yeah right) becasue Ole Miss just kicked Marhall Hendeson, Great White Hope off the SEC, of the backsketball team. Now I dont want too give any one the worng idea, but if i where an Ole Miss fan right now,, id be on my way to teh Presidents Mansoin and i dont mean to file a formal compliant if you catch my drift.
